Whoever the enemy was in this case was exercising more fire discipline-probably because they weren't carrying 210 plus rounds for guys with AK's, or several cans of 7.62x54 for the PKM's. My inclination in those types of scenarios is to take a tactical pause, develop the ability to observe where the threat is so he can be fixed, then posture the most appropriate weapons/shooters to deal with that threat, with competent leadership guidance.
I didn't see any evidence of RPG use, so these guys were either under-equipped, or maybe stalking the RPG gunner(s) into place. That wall wouldn't be much cover in that case, but it looked like they were being subject to sporadic small arms fire that wasn't high volume by any means. Someone had the corner of the wall dialed-in though.
The DMR's with cans would have been great in this scenario, provided they could find a position to overwatch from, which can't be determined from this video.
